How renting in Laurel Lake has changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	41.1% (±11.3 points)	27.2% (±10.8 points)	−13.9 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$1,211 (±$142)	$1,200 (±$104)	−0.9%	Down after inflation
Median household income	$43,615 (±$10,821)	$55,574 (±$8,342)	+27.4%	No measurable change after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.

Prices (the CPI-U, US Bureau of Labor Statistics) rose 22.7% between 2019 and 2024, so a dollar figure’s verdict compares the two after raising the earlier one by that much, using the Census Bureau’s test for a difference.

The two periods do not overlap, as the Census Bureau recommends for 5-year estimates.
